If you are looking for a high-quality online banking product and you don’t want/need to customize it too much, Alkami is a great choice- it has a lot out of the box and the people are great. If you need a lot of customization, and you don’t have the internal resources to help you do that, Alkami may be a challenge to satisfy your needs.

Xoom is best suited to send and receive money between two people who live in different countries, not only that we can also send money to our friends, colleagues, family members directly in their bank accounts. They have a great currency exchange functionality that directly converts our received money into our local currency, and deposits it into our bank account within a few minutes. The only drawback is that not many people know about it, it needs good marketing so that more people can use this service, and from my experience, I can say it is very secure and a good competitor of Payoneer.

The implementation was largely successful. Since this was a large shift from normal practices, we faced a few teething problems, but largely I'd say it went well.

Our team has preferred Xoom because it is an efficient and safe way to transfer funds. We are able to be as detailed as necessary with every transaction, which gives us the confidence of knowing where our money is going. We appreciate the ease of use and the free initial account when signing up.
